Description
Informal group portrait of members of 106 Independent Brigade Group Workshop awaiting their beer issue at camp. The men receive two bottles of beer and two ounces of tobacco per man per month. This unit was formed at Wayville Showgrounds, SA, early in 1942 mainly from South Australians and a few Victorian enlistements. Known to be in the photograph are: Bob Sweet (third from left); Archie McLeay (eighth from left); SX15723 Sergeant Frank Clifford Skinner (centre, wearing cap); George Richter; 'Shark' Trengove; ? Major; SX15239 Craftsman Felix Kopti (legs apart, probably front, second from right); and Cliff Brown. The negative of this photograph was developed by fellow soldier SX12755 Cfn Lance Arthur (Monty) Montague, under a blanket propped up by a frame in a tent at the camp.
